I’m planning a trip to Santorini and I’m really looking forward to hitting the water. I’m particularly interested in renting a jet ski to explore the coastline, but I’ve never done it before in Greece, so I’d love some advice.

Can anyone recommend the best places in Santorini to rent a jet ski? I’m looking for a reputable rental spot with good-quality equipment and fair prices. Also, are there any specific areas around the island that are especially great to explore by jet ski, like hidden beaches or cool rock formations?

I’d also appreciate any tips on what to expect in terms of safety, required licenses, or permits for jet skiing in Santorini. Is it worth booking in advance, or is it easy to rent on the spot?
 
Exploring Santorini by jet ski sounds like an exhilarating adventure! For reputable rental spots, check out Perivolos Beach and Kamari Beach, as both offer reliable jet ski rental companies with good-quality equipment. Wavesports and Santorini Jet Ski are popular options with positive reviews. They usually have various packages, and prices are generally fair, though booking in advance can sometimes score you a better deal.

As for spots to explore, head towards the southern coastline for incredible views of the Red Beach, White Beach, and the dramatic cliffs near the Akrotiri lighthouse. The volcanic islets and hidden coves around the caldera are also fantastic, but be cautious as the waters can be choppy.

Saving Money in Santorini?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini but am a bit concerned about the costs. I've heard that it can be quite an expensive destination, especially with all the luxury hotels and high-end restaurants. However, I'm determined to experience the beauty of Santorini without breaking the bank.

Can anyone share tips or advice on how to do Santorini on a budget? I'm looking for affordable accommodation options—maybe hostels, budget hotels, or even good Airbnbs. Also, what are some budget-friendly places to eat where I can still enjoy authentic Greek cuisine?

Are there free or low-cost activities and sights that you would recommend? I'm particularly interested in enjoying the famous sunsets, exploring the villages, and maybe visiting a few beaches or hiking trails.

Any advice on saving money on transportation around the island would also be greatly appreciated.

Staying in Oia or Fira in Santorini?

I’m planning a trip to Santorini for the summer of 2025 and need some advice on where to stay. I’ve heard a lot about Oia and Fira, but I can’t decide between the two. Oia looks absolutely stunning with those famous sunsets, but Fira seems to have more going on with shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

For those of you who have been, which would you recommend for a first-time visitor? Or is there another place on the island that’s even better to stay? I’m looking for a spot with great views, but also somewhere that isn’t too hard to get around from. I don’t mind a bit of hustle and bustle, but I’d also like some time to relax.

Any tips or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Tips for Santorini in a Bigger Group?

Hi all! I’m planning a trip to Santorini later this year with a bigger group—about 8 of us, all adults—and I’d love some tips from anyone who’s done it before.

We’re trying to figure out the best area to stay that’s scenic but also practical for a group (maybe with a villa or multiple rooms close together). Are Oia or Fira still good choices, or should we look elsewhere for better space and value?

Also, any advice on getting around with a group? Should we rent a van, book a driver, or rely on taxis? I have never traveled in a group this large before.

Foods to Try in Santorini?

I might be heading to Santorini soon and would love some foodie recommendations! I’ve been to Greece before but never to the Cyclades, and I’ve heard Santorini has some unique local flavors thanks to its volcanic soil and island traditions.

I’m looking for fun, regional dishes that really give you a taste of the island—not just the standard Greek fare (though I love those too). I’ve heard about things like fava (the yellow split pea puree), white eggplant dishes, and tomato keftedes (tomato fritters), but I’d love to know what else is considered local and worth trying.

Any must-try specialties, hidden gems, or local ingredients I should look out for? And if you have restaurant suggestions that serve great local food with a view, even better!

Thanks in advance—can’t wait to eat my way around the island!

Santorini All Set for Summer?

I’ve been thinking about a summer trip to Santorini, but I’ve heard about the earthquake activity on the island. From what I’ve read, it seems like the situation is under control now, and things are stable—but I wanted to check in with folks who are either there or more in the loop.

Has anyone been to Santorini recently or heard any updates from locals or travel experts? Are businesses open and preparing for the usual summer rush? I know the island depends heavily on tourism, so I imagine they’re working hard to get everything ready.
